When I fired up the demo to give it a whirl, I was immediately greeted with an Activation Screen, "to reduce software piracy". Is this a Microsoft product?
I don't care how good a product may be - immediately treating me like someone who would steal software is a sure-fire way to lose my business.
Warranty Hero was deleted from my system with zero hesitation.
My advice: Unless you like being treated like a thief, find an alternative.
My most favorite part of this app is the ical integration, that was a must have for me when looking at other warranty apps. One thing I wish it did have was an alias pointing to my manuals stored on my hd. I tried adding a manual to the document viewer, but it's tedious flipping through the pages one by one since manuals are so long. I only use the document viewer for receipts and warranty cards, it's perfect viewing those.
The first household-management-software I know that does the job it should do by the easiest way!
Some features may be inclueded but maybe in the next issues...

They must have changed it slightly so you shouldn't feel like a thief as much anymore! The Activation Failed screen is annoying, and there should be other ways to prevent piracy, but it is a trial afterall - don't take it so personally! :D

Haha, wow man. The developer is just trying to make some money on his/her application. Calm down and stop taking things so personally.
Hi Christian,
Sorry, but there's also issues with french localisation. No offense, but was this was obviously transtlated with Google translation tool or something like that. "Extrémité de la garantie" should be replaced by "Expiration de la garantie" or "Fin de la garantie", "Traînez une image ici" by "Glissez une image ici". And the alert message when trying to add more than one product, that's not french at all. Same thing about the menus :" Nouveau de la sélection" ? "Fremer" ?
Warranty Hero is a good and pretty useful idea, and it's very well made. But, please, try to find a real person to do the translation correctly.

Thank you very much for pointing out those errors :)
I corrected what you said and you should see the changes in the next update which i expect to be ready in about a week...
I have a french person in reach and try to meet up as soon as possible ;)
Again, thank you very much and i would be happy to hear more bug reports / feedback from you.
In addition to MacUpdate, use also the support section of www.nodheadsoftware.com
Have a nice day

While this is a good idea and a seemingly useful product for a decent price here's yet another European (or rather German) company that just neglects including international localization...! I'm so sick of that kind of lazyness...! (Spricht man in Aschaffenburg kein Deutsch mehr, Herr Schuster...?!?)
And if you really think that you have to pretend being all cool and keep everything in English, then at least get a dictionary and correct the gazillion mistakes all over your website...! Jeez, people, you're emberassing yourself...

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your opinions. Check the update 1.0.3 to find the german localization ;)
If you have more ideas or requests or if you want to correct some misspelling
http://www.nodheadsoftware.com/feedback/feedback.php
would be the right place, that way is the fastest for me. Additionally let other people know your thoughts on sites like this.
have a nice day
